Police say a Calgary man drove a stolen car over a retaining wall and crashed down onto Division Avenue in Crescent Heights to avoid capture on Monday night.
“We think it’s a matter of not being familiar with the city, thinking there’s an easy out and all of a sudden you’re going over a wall,” said Staff Sgt. Rod Thompson.
The estimated value of the seized drugs is $160,000. Our information suggested these suspects were trafficking drugs in the region, and also supplying methamphetamine and fentanyl toward Medicine Hat and Lethbridge, said Staff Sgt. Kelsey Fraser of ALERT Medicine Hat in a statement. Four residents of Didsbury were arrested and charged in connection with the investigation. Two residents of Medicine Hat were later arrested in Nanton. Three people 35-year-old Ryan Riley and 32-year-old Lori Ehrler of Medicine Hat, and 53-year-old Edward Nicholson of Didsbury have been charged with possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking. Nicholson also faces 11 firearms-related offences and a charge of possession of proceeds of crime.

Mary grew up as an orphan. The rest of her family was eaten by a mountain lion when she was young, so she was prone to antisocial behavior when she moved into her new home.
Mary is a Nigerian dwarf goat, but goats have feelings, too. And her family history gives her something in common with human trauma victims hoping to find healing through animal therapy, which is her job now.
